About
About this crossing
The Los Indios Free Trade Bridge, west of Matamoros, links the Valle Hermoso corridor with Los Indios, Texas, between Harlingen and San Benito. Born as the "free trade" bridge, it keeps that profile: spacious facilities, cargo on Standard and FAST lanes, and a light passenger flow that rarely queues long. It is the uncrowded option of the Matamoros–Brownsville system when the urban bridges clog and your destination sits along US-281 or Expressway 83.
